We have shown you over and over that Catholics don't restrict themselves to simply asking them to "pray for them". Denying the evidence only makes you appear blind or in denial.

No, I understand the context surrounding those prayers. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that protestants misunderstand, since protestant interpretations of Scripture don't consider the historical context surrounding it. So, it seems you also look at a prayer without putting it into proper context as well. Just as a person might read a paragraph in a book without reading the rest of the book.

I'm not familiar with the prayers you and your protestant friends are posting. But, because I'm Catholic, I know that the prayers aren't intended as worshipping Mary as a god. Any request of the Blessed Mother to "do" something is intended as a request for her to help make it happen by advocating on our behalf.

So Catholics don't really mean what they say?
